Mariah Carey Wins Lawsuit Against Andy Stone

Mariah Carey has been awarded $92,000 after a judge dismissed a lawsuit against her for allegedly infringing on a song called 'All I Want For Christmas Is You'.

The lawsuit was filed by country singer Andy Stone, who claimed that Carey's song was too similar to his own. However, the judge deemed the claims to 'lack merit' and ruled in Carey's favor.

This is a significant win for Carey, who has been a major force in the music industry for decades. Her song 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' has become a modern classic and is widely considered one of the best Christmas songs of all time.

The lawsuit was a long and drawn-out process, with both sides presenting their cases to the court. However, in the end, the judge sided with Carey and awarded her the $92,000 in damages.

This is not the first time that Carey has been involved in a lawsuit over her music. In 2019, she was sued by a songwriter who claimed that she had stolen the melody for her song 'Emotions' from one of his songs. However, the lawsuit was eventually dismissed and Carey was cleared of any wrongdoing.

Carey has always been known for her dedication to her craft and her commitment to protecting her intellectual property. This latest win is a testament to her hard work and determination.
